Waiting on Wednesday – Age of Assassin’s by RJ Barker

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine to let us share our excitement for books coming out soon.

I love a good assassin book, and this debut looks like it could be a great read. Assassins, conspiracy, traitors… yep. I want.

Age of Assassins (The Wounded Kingdom #1) by R.J. BarkerPublished byOrbit on August 1st 2017 Pages: 432

To catch an assassin, use an assassin…

Girton Club-foot, apprentice to the land’s best assassin, still has much to learn about the art of taking lives. But his latest mission tasks him and his master with a far more difficult challenge: to save a life. Someone, or many someones, is trying to kill the heir to the throne, and it is up to Girton and his master to uncover the traitor and prevent the prince’s murder.

In a kingdom on the brink of civil war and a castle thick with lies Girton finds friends he never expected, responsibilities he never wanted, and a conspiracy that could destroy an entire kingdom.
